my lovely feet

pedicure with py!!! :)


first up, brunch @ coffee club:

iced macadamia latte

spanish chorizo omelette

gypsy eggs

There were many expat mothers with kids. What relaxing lives they have!! Especially this particular mother, who kept her little kid from making noise by glueing her to a portable tv. How cute!!! Although I really don't think I want my kid to be addicted to the screen at such a tender age. Very bad for the eyes.

PY's nails!




My nails! I have such ugly, short and stumpy toenails. :(

Also bought my ballet shoes, which came in a pretty-in-pink pouch! I love it so much (the pouch I mean)!

This reminds me of my ballet days:

Hahaha.. Can you tell which one is me? :D

Last stop for the day: NATAS fair with mummy!

It was so hilarious because when I reached, Lilly Lee happened to call me to ask if I were home and whether I had access to internet. For what reason, I didn't know. 10 minutes later, when I was roaming about in the fair, I heard a familiar voice calling out my name. It was cx and adam!!! Cx immediately wondered aloud, "Why is everyone here today?" Apparently, Miss Lilly Lee was there too!!! omg it was so funny...


Anyway, my parents and I booked our tickets to Korea! So exciting!!! :D I was more excited by the fact that we had 3 chances for lucky draw courtesy of the Korean tourism board and the prizes were Korean drama DVD sets! hahaha... I was so sad when I picked up Full House, Stairway to Heaven and My Girl because I have already watched all of them, but the guy was so nice and let me choose the DVDs I wanted! hahahahaha... So happy! Now I can prep myself more for Korea!

안녕하세요

margarita's

nachos - not as good as cafe iguana. the couple next to us was having the taco salad, which looked tons better. hahaha...

crabmeat enchiladas - nice and smooth!

erm.. one of the side dishes i think.. rice with refried beans

chicken fajitas - very nice. even onion haters will love these onions soaked in bbq sauce. and the chicken was very well-marinated. unlike the cafe iguana one.

grand margarita

mango margarita

cy!!!

my second margarita: raspberry - not on the menu. very fresh and sweet! I conclude that I love berry margaritas, probably because they are sweet and come in pretty colours like pink, red and purple. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CY!!! :) -muacks-

eduardo

freaking broke his leg. Oh my God it's damn gross. His entire lower leg bone got broken into half. Like a twig. Oh man... Ok I love Man U and can't wait for Arsenal to lose, but still... this is damn gross. It's so disgusting that even the television won't air this again. So watch it while you can.

Just so you know, at the 29th second mark, that funny thing sticking out from the sock is his bone. And his feet are still in his boot.

He is 25 years old. I don't think he can ever play football again. God bless you, Eduardo.

True Blue Peranakan Cuisine at Armenian Street.




chap chye

fish maw soup

The best ayam buah keluak I have ever tasted in my entire life. :) a MUST TRY!!! that's if you know how to eat the buah keluak, which has a very unique and acquired taste since it is a powdery black fruit in a funny looking nut. If you are Peranakan, you will definitely know what that is! :)

sambal fish

YUMMY! I will definitely go back there for my ayam buah keluak! :D

Via Mar @ Esplanade before Dim Sum Dollies with Mummy:

salmon salad (I forgot the fancy name)


Crayfish spaghetti in tomato

As good as when I watched it a year back. And it was really funny seeing my mother laugh until she cried. Haha...

hidden

As harmonious families
hide discordant words exchanged,

Expensive clothes
hide impoverished souls,

Leather bags
hide beastly characters,

High-heel shoes
hide lowdown schemes,

Beautiful faces
hide vile hearts,

And happy blogs
hide sad lives.

canelé pâtisserie chocolaterie

cream of broccoli - which tasted like boiled broccoli water

garlic bread - decent

carbonara - thick and creamy but too jelak

tomato & crab - not bad! tastes like chilli crab. haha

macaroons!!! :D:D:D

just desserts

more desserts

chocolate classique

dark chocolate calibre - yummy!!!

In conclusion, food bad, desserts good, company amazing! :)

Gymming was so enjoyable today!!! I am overjoyed because there is a new class - BALLET FLOW!!! Oh I miss ballet so much. I did ballet when I was a kid (yes I know I don't look like I did. :p) but I stopped because the exams and practices were taking up too much of my time. Now, I get to do my pliés, promenades and hopefully, a proper tournant and a pirouette some day! Ok it's just for leisure, but still... I want to buy ballet shoes!!! :D

happy valentines'

HAPPY VALENTINES' DAY

But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of God in company.
